3 players who should not have been in Brazil's 23-man World Cup squad

Apurva
Brazil v Argentina - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Qualifier

#2 Danilo

Manchester City v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
Danilo has not been a shell of his former FC Porto self these days

If Danilo was playing like he did during his FC Porto days, no one would have an issue but he is a completely different defender now. He is not that sharp and the only quality he possesses right now is his pace.

He lost his confidence at Real Madrid and unfortunately, his injuries have not helped him do that well at Manchester City. He is now set to be Brazil's right-back choice at the World Cup along with Fagner.

Fabinho would have been a brilliant choice but Tite has surprisingly decided to leave him out. The AS Monaco star has had a good season this term.
